Menstrual Hut

Hey Svedish_Chef can you mail it on to me when you have got/read it? that is if noone else has already asked you!

Thanx - PM me for the Addy if it is ok.

:rose:

I am outta my personal red tent for now, but I am still in alot of discomfort - I hope that the doctors can sort this sooner rather than later!
 
I hate to see you lovely ladies in pain.
I wish I could rub your tummies and brush your hair until you fell asleep.
Feel better soon! :)
 
Raindancer honey, that sounds like heaven to me!

When shall I expect you to arrive???

:kiss:
 
Ruby,
I know just how you feel.
Menstrual cramps are hideous!


:(
I'm in that stage of life where I'm getting them at odd times. My periods are a mess. Let's not even discuss the mood swings..heh heh!
 
I love this Thread...its one of my Favorites...
Strange how I started my Moon Days today while reading this thread and the remarks about this thread from others.
Some Pagans did college menstral flows, and the Romans even ate the Placentas of their children ...(well animals do it...its supposidly very good for you)

I believe that this time is only as bad and moody if you as the "inflicted" let it be. Some believe, as do I, that this is when the female is at the height of her powers....basically like a boost!
Maybe being a bit sore and crabby are just a few minor side effects?

~Bright Blessings!~
P.s.~ Pass the leaves and lets gang up on the men.....do the black widow thing that was mentioned?!? :D
 
I have made an altar to the makers of Midol®. I pray at it every so often and thank them for their unconditional love. I sacrafice cookies in the name of all that is relief, for Rolaids® doesn't hold a candle to Midol®. This from someone who doesn't even take pain killers when my injuries flare up. The pain of old injuries can be strong, but it's nothing like the pain and discomfort of your ovaries trying to dislodge themselves from your abdomen. Why can't they just stay there and be like the rest of my organs, which are un-noticable in their silence? Thank you Midol® gods, for ye hath rescued some poor soul from the clutches of my menstrual outrage.
 
sneaking in

I watched the full moon come and go this month with no bleeding. It's scary, since the only time I've ever missed a period, I've been pregnant. Maybe I read through this whole thread in hopes that my body would say "Oh shit! I knew I forgot to do something!" :)

Like a lot of the other women that have posted, I don't hate my periods. Can't say I love them, but I acknowledge that they're part of a greater cycle. I just recently started cramping before my periods, and the flow/duration has increased dramatically as hell too. I know these are signs of not so good things. So that's scary as well.

Does anyone else feel it when they ovulate? I never had menstrual cramps, but when my ovaries let go of that lil bitty egg, I end up doubled over in pain.

Thoughts on cramping/bloating/bitchiness... I've begun drinking a blend of red raspberry, cohosh and st john's wort tea to curb my desire to kill the manufacturers of my jeans, every male I come in contact with, and the makers of motrin. It helps, though I still think there might be little elves that swap my jeans out for ones that look the same but are two sizes smaller.
 
Heheh...yep Damn Elves....must've jinxed them...
My period is unfortunatly regulated via Birth Control...so its pretty regular....but it will occur at the end of the Moon's cycle...and yes I get more cramps prior to the actual menstration than the actual process...

Hey pcg, i really hope the non-period thing is just a small blip on your overall monthly horizon. Alternatively, would you know precisely what you would do were the blip to become a thing of, oh, ten months duration? Would it be a joyous occasion? I'm not prying, only trying to determine if we should all send entreaties to the gods for you, one way or the other. That's one worry we all share and can understand. Okay, not you virgins - but you can empathize anyway.

I cramp badly when i ovulate!
It fucking HURTS. It's like i can feel my follicles rupturing violently and the spewing that egg out into the grasping embrace of the tentecles at the head of my fallopian tubes. (I think i've seen too many of those charts. You know, the ones sex-ed teachers like i was for a long time use to teach 8th graders what happens and what it all looks like and how the pieces and parts fit together.)

There's no way that egg drop goes unnoticed in my body. I guess it all evens out because i don't have much at all, and never have, in the way of real period cramps.

No. I'm not gloating. I feel bad for us all, however the discomfot comes.

("Discomfort" is a word i view with a very jaundiced eye these days after going though childbirth with pitocin and without pain drugs. They called that "discomfort" as in, "Oh, you might feel a little discomfort, some stretching, as the baby's head crowns." Uh huh. Discomfort it was, indeed.)
 
This Would Be The Place Then...

That I Could Announce A Much Awaited Moontime Arrival?

<Well There It Is!

Tonight Perhaps, I'll Use This Lifeblood To Warpaint My Face:D

LOL

I LOVE This Place!

Oh, it'd be joyous from the standpoint that I'd dearly love one more child. Not so joyous from the standpoint of the condition of my marriage. Trying to figure out what to do with two kids involved is more than enough, thank you. Entreaties to the gods... I just don't know. I am firmly entrenched in the 'things happen for a reason' philosophy right now.

*L* You always say things so much more illustratively (did I just make that word up?) than I do.

Laughed my ass off at that one darlin. Both my births were 'encouraged' with pitocin. Evil drug, that. I remember during the first one, I complained to the nurse that I needed to get up and move around because I was having back labor. She said "How would you know, you've never been in labor before." I got her back later when I puked in that lil bowl thingie and chucked it at her. :D

I have my period.

It arrived yesterday.

I am feeling very... black-widowish.

I think we should sit around and talk about how we want to be fucked very hard, then kill the men afterwards and bury them in a shallow grave :)

I have to say that this is the funniest thing I've read all day...kill the men afterwards and bury them in a shallow grave...

Oh, sorry to intrude..it's Jazzmans fault...

and oh...I don't blame you one bit...
 
Thanx Raindancer

ladies do you get the feeling we are about to be invaded by curious males??
 
I hope not, Vivacia.

If we get a bunch of "curious males" in here who read one or two posts and then post something inane about them, i'm going to get kinda twitchy. We've managed to avoid that so far. Wouldn't it be really nice to have that continue? There's fucking *enough* of that kinda thing all over the rest of the place, you know? Seems like we could have one small serious bonding thread without that kinda trash becoming a part of it and ruining the spirit and tenor of the thing.

JMO.

I agree cymbidia, to date we have had some very good things going on.....Some good posts even from the curious men, I hope this thread stays just as it is....:)

I can't help but agree. I don't say much but I do read. I feel like shit, bloating and bitchy and I wish I didn't have to go through this, but the alternative is pregnant and that is worse at this time.

Thank you, all the ladies of Lit for your comments in keeping this thread going.
 
Another month of fertility wasted on someone who doesn't particularly want it.

Sorry if I'm bitchy today. Yesterday was another fun round of endo-pain/drug stupor/rinse, repeat. I'm not feeling very embracing of the whole thing right now.
 
This winter I have found that each month something physically profound has happened just before I start to flow: a cold, a horrid headache, body aches. My hormones are bursting at much higher levels than usual and seem to be lowering my resistance.

I am just finishing up the bleeding for this month. I have bled for 6.9 years in 420 cycles. I know I am also in the last of my cycles. It is going out like it came in: hard, painful and long.

I started on the 4th of July, just before my 12th birthday. My mother took me out to a nice restaurant for lunch and we talked about my opportunities and choices as a woman and a person. It was a very special time for the two of us and is a memory I still pull out and cherish.

One of the things I so enjoyed in reading The Red Tent was that the time spent in the tent was also a time to learn of those with whom you share your life. I like the thought that we are kept alive by those whose life on which we have made an impact and that we live in their memories and those they share with the people important to them. The way to continue a life is through the memories of others.

By sharing in this type of a forum, we live on, always.
